In collaboration with the museum department of the Institute the pop-up installation has been programmed from the 12th until the 24th of January. The exhibition was made possible because of the editorial efforts of Evelien Wolda, Kelly Mostert and Marta Franceschini (of Europeana Fashion) that curated amazing content fitting within the Fashion theme.
